Abstract
According to certain non-limiting embodiments disclosed herein, the functionality of a distributed computing platform, such as a content delivery network with network storage, is improved by providing automated and on-demand upload capability into the network storage. In one embodiment, the platform is made up of many proxy servers. As clients request content from the proxies, they generate upload commands for the network storage subsystem to ingest the content from a content provider origin infrastructure. Preferably, the proxy servers are configured to generate 'safe' upload commands such that objects are not ingested if they contain sensitive information and/or are personalized and/or might be dynamically generated objects. Thus, relatively safe 'static' objects can be automatically uploaded and migrated from a content provider origin, as client requests arrive.
